SCIENCE (CODE NO. 086)

9

The subject of Science plays an important role in developing well-defined abilities in

cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains in children. It augments the spirit of

enquiry, creativity, objectivity and aesthetic sensibility. Upper primary stage

demands that a number of opportunities should be provided to the students to

engage them with the processes of Science like observing, recording observations,

drawing, tabulation, plotting graphs, etc., whereas the secondary stage also expects

abstraction and quantitative reasoning to occupy a more central place in the

teaching and learning of Science. Thus, the idea of atoms and molecules being the

building blocks of matter makes its appearance, as does Newton‘s law of

gravitation. The present syllabus has been designed around seven broad themes

viz. Food; Materials; The World of the Living; How Things Work; Moving Things,

People and Ideas; Natural Phenomenon and Natural Resources. Special care has

been taken to avoid temptation of adding too many concepts than can be

comfortably learnt in the given time frame. No attempt has been made to be

comprehensive. At this stage, while science is still a common subject, the

disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Biology begin to emerge. The students should

be exposed to experiences based on hands on activities as well as modes of

reasoning that are typical of the subject.

General Instructions:

1. There will be an Annual Examination based on the entire syllabus.

2. The Annual Examination will be of 80 marks and 20 marks weightage shall be

for Internal Assessment.

3. For Internal Assessment:

a. There will be Periodic Assessment that would include:

• For 5 marks- Three periodic tests conducted by the school. Average of the best

two tests to be taken that will have a weightage of 05 marks towards the final

result.

• For 5 marks- Diverse methods of assessment as per the need of the class

dynamics and curriculum transaction. These may include - short tests, oral test,

quiz, concept maps, projects, posters, presentations, enquiry based scientific

investigations etc. This will also have a weightage of 05 marks towards the final

result.

b. Subject Enrichment in the form of Practical / Laboratory work should be done

throughout the year and the student should maintain record of the same. Practical

Assessment should be continuous. There will be weightage of 5 marks towards the

final result. All practicals listed in the syllabus must be completed.

c. Portfolio to be prepared by the student- This would include class work and other

sample of student work and will carry a weightage of 5 marks towards the final

results.

The Syllabus in the subject of Mathematics has undergone changes from

time to time in accordance with growth of the subject and emerging needs

of the society. The present revised syllabus has been designed in

accordance with National Curriculum Framework 2005 and as per

guidelines given in the Focus Group on Teaching of Mathematics which is

to meet the emerging needs of all categories of students. For motivating

the teacher to relate the topics to real life problems and other subject

areas, greater emphasis has been laid on applications of various

concepts.

The curriculum at Secondary stage primarily aims at enhancing the

capacity of students to employ Mathematics in solving day-to-day life

problems and studying the subject as a separate discipline. It is

expected that students should acquire the ability to solve problems using

algebraic methods and apply the knowledge of simple trigonometry to

solve problems of height and distances. Carrying out experiments with

numbers and forms of geometry, framing hypothesis and verifying these

with further observations form inherent part of Mathematics learning at

this stage. The proposed curriculum includes the study of number

system, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, mensuration, statistics, graphs

and coordinate geometry,etc.

MATHEMATICS IX (CODE NO. 041)

18

The teaching of Mathematics should be imparted through activities which

may involve the use of concrete materials, models, patterns, charts,

pictures, posters, games, puzzles and experiments.

Objectives

The broad objectives of teaching of Mathematics at secondary stage are to

help the learners to:

consolidate the Mathematical knowledge and skills acquired at the

upper primary stage;

acquire knowledge and understanding, particularly by way of

motivation and visualization, of basic concepts, terms, principles

and symbols and underlying processes and skills;

develop mastery of basic algebraic skills;

develop drawing skills;

feel the flow of reason while proving a result or solving a problem;

apply the knowledge and skills acquired to solve problems and

wherever possible, by more than one method;

to develop ability to think, analyze and articulate logically;

to develop awareness of the need for national integration, protection

of environment,observance of small family norms,removal of social

barriers , elimination of gender biases;

to develop necessary skills to work with modern technological

devices and mathematical software's.

to develop interest in mathematics as a problem-solving tool in

various fields for its beautiful structures and patterns,etc.

to develop reverence and respect towards great Mathematicians for

their contributions to the field ofMathematics;

to develop interest in the subject by participating in related competitions;

to acquaint students with different aspects of Mathematics used in

dailylife;

to develop an interest in students to study Mathematics as a

discipline.

and justify their being written as ordered pairs of real number. plotting

them and showing that they lie on a line. Graph of linear equations

invariables. Examples, problems from real life with algebraic and graphical

solutions being done simultaneously

CONSTRUCTIONS (5) Periods

KEYWORDS: Construction, Ray, Line segment, Initial point, Angle

bisector , Equilateral triangle

CONTENT:

1. Construction of bisectors of line segments and angles of measure 60o,

90o, 45o etc., equilateral triangles.

2. Construction of a triangle given its base, sum/difference of the other two sides and one base angle.

UNIT VIII

QUADRILATERALS

(10) Periods

KEYWORDS: Quadrilaterals, Trapezium, Parallelogram, Square,

Rhombus, Rectangle, Kite.

CONTENT: 1.(Prove) The diagonal divides a parallelogram into two

congruent triangles.

2. (Motivate) In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal, and conversely.

3. (Motivate) In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal, and conversely

4. (Motivate)A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of its opposite

sides is Parallel and equal.

5. (Motivate) In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other and

conversely.

6. (Motivate) In a triangle, the line segment joining the mid points of any

two sides is parallel to the third side and in half of it and (motivate) its

converse.

UNIT IX

a circle, Diameter of a circle, semicircle, Arc of a circle , Concentric

circles, Sector of a circle, Cyclic Quadrilateral, Congruent circles

CONTENT:

Through examples, arrive at definition of circle and related concepts-

radius, Circumference, diameter, chord, arc, secant, sector, segment,

subtended angle.

1. (Prove) Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the

center and (motivate) its converse.

2. (Motivate) The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord

bisects the chord and conversely, the line drawn through the center of a

circle to bisect a chord is perpendicular to the chord.

3. (Motivate) Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are

equidistant from the center (or their respective centers) and conversely.

4. (Prove) The angle subtended by an arc at the center is double

the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the

circle.

5. (Motivate) Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

6. (Motivate) The sum of either of the pair of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180° and it sconverse.
